グループFの初戦。アフリカ勢のモロッコと、前回準優勝のクロアチアの対戦。
クロアチアの優勢が予想されたが、結果はスコアレスドロー。お互い勝点1を手にした。
試合は、モドリッチを中心に豊富なタレントを擁するクロアチアが試合を有利に進めるが、モロッコも時折クロアチアゴール前に攻め込むという展開。
前半終了間際、クロアチアがモロッコのゴール前に迫ったが、モドリッチのシュートはポストの上に外れて、先制ならず。
後半も、同じ様な展開の試合が続いた。
お互いに何度かチャンスがありながらゴールを奪えずそのままタイムアップ。
クロアチアは、初戦ということまであってか、それほど無理をせずに試合を進めていた印象。
モロッコは、前回の準優勝国を相手に、ほぼ互角の試合を展開でき、この大会に手応えを感じたのではないか。
Group F first match. Morocco, an African team, and Croatia, the runner-up last time, played against each other.
Croatia were expected to dominate, but the result was a scoreless draw. We both got 1 point.
In the match, Croatia, which has abundant talent centering on Modric, advances the game to an advantage, but Morocco also occasionally attacks in front of Croatia's goal.
Just before the end of the first half, Croatia closed in front of Morocco's goal, but Modric's shot went over the post and did not open the scoring.
The second half continued with similar developments.
Although both sides had chances several times, they failed to score a goal and the time was up.
I got the impression that Croatia played the match without overdoing it, probably because it was their first match.
Morocco was able to develop a nearly even match against the last runner-up country, and it seems that they felt a good response to this tournament.
